PUREMIX Mick Guzauski Mixing Lifeboats [TUTORiAL]

In Episode 3 of our Lifeboats Series, Legendary Mixer, Mick Guzauski, opens the multitrack for Will Knox’s Lifeboats onto his Avid S6 console and takes us all the way from hearing the song for the first time, through to a completed mix with his signature sound imprinted upon it.

See How Mick:

• Sets up his Avid S6 console for effortless navigation
• Adds rhythm and movement to percussive synth parts with creative delays
• Uses manual gating to achieve the right feel on a kick drum
• Carefully crafts piano reverbs
• Uses multiple reverbs to build unique spaces and textures for individual instruments
• Sculpts the top end of the mix using the Manley Massive Passive
• Uses a Fairchild 670 to slow down transients and thicken the drum bus
